Operation Check

  1. SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START OPERATION INSPECTION 

    HINT: 

    The key (for card type) operation inspection can be performed using the same procedure as for the key (for standard).

    1. Check the entry unlock function.
      1. Use the wireless lock operation to lock the doors. With the key in your possession, touch a door outside handle (touch sensor) and check that the door unlocks.
    2. Check the entry unlock operation detection area.
      1. Step 1: Hold the key at the same height as the door outside handle (approximately 0.8 m (2.62 ft.)). Pay attention to the direction of the key in the illustration.
      2. Step 2: Check that when the key is brought within 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the vehicle, the system enters unlock standby mode.

        HINT: 

        • Unlock standby mode is signified by the key red LED illuminating.
        • Because the key (for card type) does not have an LED, it cannot be used to check unlock standby mode.
      3. Step 3: After the system enters unlock standby mode, touch the outside handle sensor within 3 seconds. Check that the door unlocks.
        NOTE:

        The key may not be able to communicate with the system within a 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) radius of each outside handle.

      4. Step 4: Repeat step 2 and step 3 for the remaining front door.
      5. Step 5: Inspect the door touch sensor. Wear protective gloves, set the system to unlock standby mode, and check that touching the inner side of the outside handle (the highlighted area in the illustration) with your finger causes the door to unlock.

        NOTE:

        When touching the highlighted area, tapping too quickly or having extended contact may not trigger the sensor. In such a case, the door will not unlock.

      6. Step 6: Repeat step 5 for the remaining front door.
    3. Check the entry lock function.
      1. Step 1: Close all of the doors. With the key in your possession outside the vehicle, check that pressing the lock switch locks the doors.

        HINT: 

        • When pressing the lock switch, hold the key about 1 m (3.28 ft.) above the ground and about 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) away from the vehicle as shown in the illustration.
        • Due to the key being unable to communicate with the system within a 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) distance from the outside handle, do not press the lock switch with the same hand that is holding the key. The doors may not lock.
        • If the key lock-in prevention function buzzer sounds, radio waves from the indoor electrical key oscillator may be leaking from the vehicle. Perform the same check for the front passenger side and rear doors.
      2. Step 2: Repeat step 1 for the remaining doors.
    4. Check the entry luggage compartment door open function.
      1. Close the luggage compartment door. With the key in your possession, check that pressing the luggage door opener switch opens the luggage compartment door.
      2. Inspect the entry luggage compartment door open operation detection area. Hold the key at the same height as the luggage door opener switch (approximately 0.8 m (2.62 ft.)) aligning it with the center of the rear of the vehicle. Pay attention to the direction of the key shown in the illustration. Check that when the key is brought within 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the vehicle, pressing the luggage door opener switch opens the luggage compartment door.

    5. Check the entry ignition function.
      1. When the engine is off:

        With the key in your possession and the brake pedal depressed, check that pressing the engine switch releases the steering wheel lock and starts the engine.

        HINT: 

        The engine can be started only when the engine switch indicator illuminates green.

      2. When the engine is running:

        With the key in your possession, check that pressing the engine switch stops the engine and activates the steering wheel lock.

        HINT: 

        The shift lever must be in P to be able to stop the engine.

      3. Inspect the entry ignition operation detection area (front seat). Pay attention to the direction of the key in the illustration. When the key is in either of the 2 locations in the illustration, check that the engine can start.

        NOTE:

        The engine may not start when the key is on the instrument panel or rear package tray, or in the glove box.

      4. Inspect the entry ignition operation detection area (rear seat). Pay attention to the direction of the key in the illustration. When the key is in either of the 2 locations in the illustration, check that the engine can start.

        NOTE:

        The engine may not start when the key is on the instrument panel or rear package tray, or in the glove box.

    6. Check the key lock-in prevention function (for luggage compartment).
      1. Place the key in the luggage compartment with all doors locked. Check that: 1) closing the luggage compartment door triggers the key wireless buzzer (which lasts approximately 2 seconds), and 2) pressing the luggage door opener switch opens the luggage compartment door.
      2. Inspect the key lock-in prevention detection area. Pay attention to the direction of the key shown in the illustration. When the key is in either of the 2 locations in the illustration, check that: 1) closing the luggage compartment door sounds the wireless buzzer, and 2) pressing the luggage door opener switch opens the luggage compartment door.

        NOTE:

        If the key is inside a metal storage item, such as a metal briefcase or metal box, the key may not be detected by the system.

      3. Inspect the key lock-in prevention detection area and the door control receiver for wave leaks. Hold the key at the same height as the lower edge of the luggage compartment door aligning it with the center of the rear of the vehicle. Pay attention to the direction and position of the key shown in the illustration. Check that when the key is over 0.1 m (0.328 ft.) from the rear bumper, the wireless buzzer does not sound. If the warning buzzer sounds, the door control receiver may have a wave leak.

    7. Check the key cancel function.
      1. While the engine switch is on (IG), check that the luggage door opener switch is the only switch in the smart access system with push-button start that can be operated.
      2. While the key cancel function (smart access system with push-button start cancel function) is on, check that all functions in the smart access system with push-button start cannot be operated.
    8. Check the answer-back function (hazard warning light flashing and buzzer sounding).
      Entry Operation Hazard Warning Light Buzzer
      Entry Door Lock Flashes once Sounds once
      Entry Door Unlock Flashes twice Sounds twice
      Entry Luggage Compartment Door Open Does not flash Does not sound
    9. Check that the key reminder warning buzzer sounds.
      1. Carry the key in the vehicle and close the driver side door. Then turn the engine switch off or on (ACC).
      2. Open the driver side door and check that the buzzer sounds intermittently.
    10. Check that the key reminder warning buzzer stops.
      1. When the buzzer is sounding, check that the buzzer stops sounding if either of the following is performed:
        • Close the driver side door (front door courtesy light switch is off).
        • Turn the engine switch on (IG).
  2. KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE 

    HINT: 

    Key diagnostic mode checks if the key within a selected oscillator/amplifier detection area is operating normally. The results are output through the wireless door lock buzzer.

    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Access / Utility / Communication Check (Key Diag Mode).
    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.
